I believe there is precedent for states ignoring marriages that were legally done in another state. Several states do not recognize cousin marriages even when they were done in a state that allows it.

Interesting.

I don't know of any states that will not recognize hetero 2 person marriages unless there is some weird twist if that sort.

In fact, marriages from other nations are generally legal here, but I doubt if the state dept. would even grant permanent resident visas for an alien and his 20 wives. If such an alien family were here illegally, that might be interesting.

As my example on state gun control laws go, there is no precedent for states having to follow other states regulations and laws. So what if SC must recognize a MA SS marriage license? But if SC law doesn't give benefits to SS marriages and only to opposite sex ones then it shouldnt matter. Can I bring Maryland traffic laws with me to VA. Can I use a radar detector there?
